The Department of Faith Formation offers several options for catechist certification, including on-line courses, onsite classes and an annual retreat and workshop. Level 1 online classes can be accessed through the Faith Formation page of the website www.jacksondiocese.org. Scroll down to the section on catechist certification.
Onsite classes are offered in a traditional classroom format and are 16 hours in length. The classes are free and open to both persons seeking Level II catechist certification as well as easy listeners (or auditors). There are, however, required textbooks for all students taking the class for certification credit. Depending on the instructor and needs of the students, scheduling of onsite classes is specific to locations as listed below.
